Was just reading through the articles this morning from the wash up of last weeks footy, and to my amusement came across the Dally M votes. Steve Menzies polling; Tedesco 3, Crichton 2 and Tuivassa Sheck 1.
I mean, I already knew the system was laughable and so does everyone else, but the amount of problems I can pinpoint with the polling from the game. First off...RTS? Yeah, he made a key defensive stop in the first few minutes but other than that? Thought he was one of their worst, let alone worthy of a point. To add to that, the irony of AGAIN, a player polling in a side that really, got put to the sword 32-12 by us and we didn’t look like we stepped out of second gear. I can think of a plethora of players from our side who deserve a point over RTS, let alone from Warriors. Morris? Two tries? Aimed up in defence? JWH? Defensive freak in that game + ran like a menance in attack? Walker? Two try assists and held his own defence wise all game? Even players like the Ice and Hutch I’d pick over RTS based off that game for a Dally M point. I’d even go as far to say I didn’t think Teddy deserved 3 points, and whilst he was solid, overplayed his hand and I thought we
had a few more “stand outs” than him that game. The farcical decisions by the “experts” who are giving out votes each week shows more and more how integral it is to have a system overhaul.
Am I clutching at straws? Can anyone here tell me RTS actually deserved a point let alone a mention, or are we on the same page that A) The system is a point of laughter every week and B) Menzies has clearly had a few too many head knocks.
